"If any one faculty of our nature may be called more wonderful than the rest, I do think it is memory. There seems something more speakingly incomprehensible in the powers, the failures, the inequalities of memory, than in any other of our intelligences.

We are, to be sure, a miracle every way; but our powers of recollecting and of forgetting do seem peculiarly past finding out." »Jane Austen, Mansfield Park
